Happy Friday Everyone! Man, did you pick a good day to be here. I have been convinced for a long time that I could become a master chef if I only had a KitchenAid mixer. I don’t even know what I’d use it for, but it would look darn good sitting on my countertops, right!?!? And today, you have the chance to not only win one in our KitchenAid mixer giveaway … but you could be the lucky winner of a $100 or a $50 Amazon gift card, too!!
The rafflecopter entry form is at the end of this post. But first, I thought it would be fun today to do a little Instagram synopsis of my two week trip to Maryland. If you’ve been here before you might know that we lived on the Eastern Shore of Maryland before we moved to Curacao (We’re now in Key West … confused yet?!?!) and here, my friends, is how I spent my two week action packed, all work and some fun vacation. (To be read in quick succession, kind of like those Old Spice commercials … “I’m on a horse, now I’m in the Riviera …”)
This dog didn’t want me to go.
I was cursed blessed with all middle seats.
I landed at BWI.
I got a cold that lasted for about 10 days.
Lowe’s had their sample paints on clearance.
JoAnn Fabrics had a massive sale.
I used newspapers from 2007 on a little project.
I sorted through our stuff in storage to prepare for a shipment.
I got a chuckle out of my old mix tapes. #checkoutthosetitles
I may have moved some wood.
The movers broke a vase and tried to hide it from me.
So I spied on them in the grocery store parking lot after they were done at the house. #ispiedafallenpicnictable
My friend’s dog snuggles with a pillow pet.
My other friend’s dog enjoys the view.
Then there were these adorable ladies.
I had a bunch of old windows replaced at a rental house and was immediately bummed that didn’t happen before the movers moved our things.
I had a great dinner with friends. #raclette
I had a glass of wine on my layover.
I was home. #yeswe’restillinthehotel
The details of that little newspaper project are coming next week and I have to tell, it is one of my favorites. I’m so thrilled with how it turned out … considering I had no real idea if it was even going to work and it only cost me about $6!
And, in other news, our closing date in Key West is quickly approaching. Well, there is actually some recent confusion over the exact closing date. But I’ll definitely keep you posted and scare you off with more before photos and keep you in the loop on our plans for upgrades. Let’s kick things off by taking a look at the list of things we’re planning to update at the new house:
To Do List:
- everything
At least it’s a short list, right?!?! ;)

I love the puffs tissues with lotion, they help when you’ve been blowing your nose for 10 days!
and these had Vicks, too … it was the only thing I could actually smell for a good week!
I am amazed that you have time to blog during all the chaos of moving. Living in Key West is going to be a blast! I actually posted a picture of that lime green mixer on my blog yesterday so you can bet I will be entering the give away!
Thank you so much Kathy! I have actually found the blog as a great way to keep me on track and motivated. Good luck with the giveaway!!
I love getting your posts Karah, your sense of humor always shines thru. You crack me up with your honesty. Loved the dog pics, aw so sweet.
I know how you feel about living in a hotel, kinda. We lived in a motel in one room with very small kitchen and bathroom for about 2 months one time in San Diego. We had 4 kids one of which was pretty small yet and our dog. Privacy, sure, two beds and couple extra rollaways in one room for 2 months with 4 kids? Uh nah. We spent Thanksgiving in that room. Such fun. What an experience.
My husband worked at one end of town and I had to drive 3 older kids to school in completely other direction. Little one and I spent most of our time in a 69 fast back Mustang driving from one end of town to another. We were waiting for a unit to open up we could rent. Good thing I didn’t have a house to clean as I’d never have gotten it done. Doing laundry for all of us was bad enuf. I sure got to know San Diego even better. Anyway it was quite an experience and managed to live thru it. Why I didn’t have a nervous break down I’m not sure, think I was driving too much to have time for one.
Hope all is well in Florida and you’re loving it, making new friends and your furry kids are happy. Good luck to you.
I was just thinking last night that I really need to make a conscious effort to make some friends … Joel’s out of town and the girls are great company and all, but you know.
I love that story about you and your youngest son. We try hard to not focus on the downside of the living situation, we have had many a fun experience in these humble surroundings while we wait for things to pan out with the house … I know they are times that we will look back on fondly.
And thank you so, so much for the kind words on the blog! I can always only hope to connect with readers who ‘get’ my sense of humor and enjoy similar things. Thank YOU so much for finding the blog.
Karah, thanks for sharing! I could almost feel the breeze and warmth of the sun from those great pics
Hahaha!

That green mixer would look great in my kitchen…that’s the color that I’d choose. I love pears…to decorate. I have many pear-related items. They just appeal to me and have for at least the past 10 years (yikes…I didn’t realize it’s been so long!). I think it has something to do with the fact that they remind me of summer and I love the sun. Well any-hoo…I hope you have a smooth move…aside from the broken vase (shame on them for trying to hide that!).
I would love to win and I know exactly what I would do with it…give it to my daughter. She’s has wanted one one for at least 15 years but life has a way of making more important expenses taking first place. Needless to say, it keep getting pushed down the list. This is make her birthday complete, as the giveaway is on her and my birthday.
